Happy Fall Y'All

I have been told that the temperature is supposed to drop soon and I might actually need to get out a sweater.  Yeah!!!  I am soooo tired of being soooo hot.  Since we are all in the mood for Fall, I decided to make a Halloween/Autumn card.  Last year I had seen how to make little bats using a punch.  It was so adorable and I knew it would be perfect with some of my Sparkle N Sprinkle stamps.  I also wanted to work on a sketch challenge over at Moxie Fab World.

I used the punch three different directions on black cardstock to create the bats and then used a spider web corner/border punch along the side.  I added some sticker paper from Sparkle N Sprinkle behind the bats and added some Autumn Sparkle colored Sparkle N Soft and then some Embers glitter.  I stamped the sentiment, Happy Fall Y All, and heat embossed using VersaMark ink and Amethyst Spray Embossing Powder.    I heat embossed my Pumpkin image using Midnight Madness embossing powder and colored with markers.  I cut it out and used some black foam squares to pop it up on the front.

I added the black card to orange and purple layers and a yellow card base.  I ran some 1/4" Double Sided "Tear-ific" Tape along the front edge of the purple layer before adding the smaller orange layer and then dipped the exposed taped border in Impulsive Purple glitter.  I finished off this card by using SNS Dimensional Glue to adding tiny wiggle eyes to the bats.  I didn’t want to use the wiggle eyes on the Pumpkin image but did use a white pen to add some white hi-lites to the eyes.

Here is the Horizontal Sketch I used:

Come back again soon,
